Hi everyone,
I hope not to offend anyone with this post, but I did it.
I know this topic have been discussed over and over... and over, but those are general.
For example I am against cross breeding boas to pythons, kings to corns etc..., because the entire biological structure is wrong.
For example:
Garters, the tree:
Family ~ Colubridae; Subfamily ~ Natricinae; Genus ~ Thamnophis
Then, species ~ chequered = marcianus - and - red sided = sirtalis; subspecies ~ parietalis.
Aka. Same family, subfamily, genus.
Boas and pythons for example:
Red tail boa = Boidae boinae boa constrictor
Burmese python = Pythonidae python molurus bivittatus
Totally different, both are from suborder Serpentes, but that is how far it goes.
That is for example like constrictor girl said in another thread, us and chimps.
What I did was “us” South-Africans, and Chinese.
Anyway, what I did:
I have 2 adult chequered garter females gravid with a red sided male garter’s offspring.
I have searched all over to see what these will look like, but can’t find any information.
I’m looking for some info from Graeme or some of the guys keeping garters.
All I know is that garters do hybridize in nature, but these 2 species are far and wide apart.
I just want your opinions.
Thanks in advance
